Default Astro Van Wheels

ok so i found a set of these local for 30 bucks, that's for the set, not just one. they are 15x6.5 with ~4.25" backspacing. could i put a 31x10.50 on these or maybe a 32x9.50 without any major issues? i mean i have the 2" BL and 2" shackles/t-bar crank already and plan on doing some fender trimming. what i am wondering is the wheel going to be wide enough for the tires.

i plan on painting them black and they have black center caps.

*crossing fingers*

Double check but I think the Astro/Safari vans have a 5x5" bolt pattern compared to the 5x4.75" of the S-series.

Later, Doug

It depends on the year of the Astro. Early ones were 5x4.75. Then they changed to 5x5 around early-mid 90's and the last ones went to a 6 bolt pattern, same as full sizes but that may have only been on the AWD ones.

For the money you are wasting on buying those stock wheels, you can order a set of procomp wheels that are already black for the same amount of money.

The op said that it's 30 bucks for the whole set, which seems like a hell of a deal.

those wheels that came up in the link are 5 on 5. won't fit the Blazer/Jimmy's.

would've been a great deal if they did.
